While the spotlight at the BIBAs shines brightly on today’s business champions, the awards also play a vital role in nurturing the entrepreneurs of tomorrow.
At the heart of this mission is the BIBAs Foundation, a fund managed by the Community Foundation for Lancashire, which supports young people across the county in developing the confidence, skills, and ambition to turn business ideas into reality.
With generous backing from BAE Systems—one of Lancashire’s largest private employers—the Foundation is committed to inspiring the next generation.
Every pound donated helps unlock the potential of Lancashire’s future business leaders, ensuring the BIBAs legacy goes far beyond awards night at Blackpool Tower. The Foundation’s impact continues long after the confetti settles—fueling ambition, creating opportunities, and building a stronger, more enterprising future for the region.
